The need

A 6.8 magnitude earthquake hit the Chamoli region of Uttarakhand on 29th March 1999. Over 100 people lost their lives and buildings across the region were left damaged.

How we helped

SEEDS carried out a post-earthquake field study. This was both a damage and needs assessment for immediate relief and medium and long-term rehabilitation.
